Re: Vivado Install Catastrophe

About your suggestions: the second one does not seem to apply and the first one does not work and makes no sense (maybe it should be taken down).

Anyway... because of this first suggestion, I uninstalled evey single instance of Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable with date of 2012 or later and for both x86 and x64 (I didn't count, maybe there were 10 or more). This was probably an overkill, most likely only the 2012 x64 needed to be removed. After this the installation was able to finish.

Re: Vivado Install Catastrophe

I'm guessing you haven't included enough information for anybody to help you.

Operating system?

Virtual machine?

Installing off local drive or network drive?

Did you try downloading installation from xilinx a second time?

Re: Vivado Install Catastrophe

Do they support windows 10 yet? Unless you're only using Microsoft applications and browsers for social media and the like, I'd be leary about upgrading until the tools you use say they support the OS you want to upgade to. This is for all engineering tools.

Can you downgrade back to windows 8.1 or 7?

It may work on windows 10, but this is from ug973

Operating Systems

Xilinx only supports the following operating systems on x86 and x86-64 processor
